Using metered cryospray technology, pre-determined doses (based on patient anatomy) of liquid nitrogen are delivered systematically through the airways,” says Professor Shah.
The RejuvenAir® System is designed with safety cut-off technology, which stops the flow of nitrogen once it reaches the required temperature. “The liquid nitrogen delivery is super controlled, as it anticipates the volume of medication to be delivered. If the treatment area gets colder quicker than anticipated, the system shuts off the delivery,” explains Dr Orton.
“Patients usually experience improved symptoms two or three days after the procedure,” says Professor Shah. Based on the clinical trials of the procedure, patients also reported a significant improvement in quality of life at one year post treatment, indicating the efficacy of the metered cryospray in treating chronic bronchitis in the long term.
Who is the treatment for?
The RejuvenAir® treatment is suitable for most people with chronic bronchitis, although it is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women, patients with compromised lung tissue or patients who have received previous lung surgery.
